Michatoya Pacífico, in Palín, Escuintla, on the Pacific highway, is a private multi-user development enabled by the tax authority (SAT) as an Auxiliary of the Public Customs Function since April 2021 — that is, it operates as a ZDEEP. As of June 2025 it had 23 companies installed and around Q1,000 M invested, within a 1,600 ha master plan; its general manager is José Pablo Salazar. The Michatoya figures were verified against Prensa Libre (27 June 2025) in the audit of 2026-08-19. Land and building prices are not public.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
