Due to its privileged location on the way from Guatemala to Mexico, Pajapita enjoyed considerable development while the Guatemalan railways were owned by International Railways of Central America (IRCA}, an American company that belonged to the United Fruit Company. However, with the decline of the rail that followed the constructions of major highways in the country the importance of the town of Vado Ancho diminished, to the point that in the early 21st century it was completely abandoned. Pajapita is called also "Land of the Almond trees".

On April 18, 1902, thanks to his excellent personal rapport with then president Manuel Estrada Cabrera, pharmacist and writer Antonio Macías del Real won the concession to build the Panamerican Railroad of Guatemala sections between Las Cruces, Retalhuleu and Vado Ancho in Pajapita; however, he could not finish the line to Coatepeque in Quetzaltenango Department and had to give away his rights to the Central Railway Company, who finished the section.{{sfn|Chavarría Smeaton|1970|p=4}} The original contract with Macías del Real had been extremely generous and had been signed by the lieutenant secretary of Economy, José Flamenco and approved by Estrada Cabrera; the contract authorized the exclusivity on the construction and usage of the railroad for twenty four years, counting from the moment the section was open to the public.{{sfn|Estrada Paniagua|1908|p=24}} Besides, Macías del Real and his descendants would have enjoyed the revenue from the railway for 99 years, after which the line was supposed to go back to the State of Guatemala.{{sfn|Estrada Paniagua|1908|p=25}} ClimatePajapita has tropical climate (Köppen: Am). {{Weather box|width=auto |location = Pajapita |metric first = yes |single line = yes |Jan mean C = 26.4 |Feb mean C = 26.8 |Mar mean C = 27.9 |Apr mean C = 28.3 |May mean C = 28.4 |Jun mean C = 27.4 |Jul mean C = 27.6 |Aug mean C = 27.7 |Sep mean C = 27.4 |Oct mean C = 27.2 |Nov mean C = 26.9 |Dec mean C = 26.4 |year mean C = |Jan high C = 33.7 |Feb high C = 34.1 |Mar high C = 35.0 |Apr high C = 34.7 |May high C = 34.2 |Jun high C = 32.7 |Jul high C = 33.2 |Aug high C = 33.4 |Sep high C = 32.8 |Oct high C = 32.6 |Nov high C = 32.8 |Dec high C = 33.0 |year high C = |Jan low C = 19.2 |Feb low C = 19.5 |Mar low C = 20.9 |Apr low C = 22.0 |May low C = 22.7 |Jun low C = 22.2 |Jul low C = 22.1 |Aug low C = 22.1 |Sep low C = 22.1 |Oct low C = 21.8 |Nov low C = 21.0 |Dec low C = 19.8 |year low C = |Jan precipitation mm = 6 |Feb precipitation mm = 7 |Mar precipitation mm = 23 |Apr precipitation mm = 96 |May precipitation mm = 245 |Jun precipitation mm = 420 |Jul precipitation mm = 316 |Aug precipitation mm = 329 |Sep precipitation mm = 429 |Oct precipitation mm = 373 |Nov precipitation mm = 80 |Dec precipitation mm = 16 |year precipitation mm = |source 1 = Climate-Data.org[2] }} Geographic locationPajapita is surrounded by San Marcos Department municipalities, except by the southeast, where it borders Coatepeque, a Quetzaltenango Department municipality.[3] {{Geographic location|width=auto |Center=Pajapita |North=Catarina and El Tumbador |South=Coatepeque, Quetzaltenango Department municipality |West=Ayutla |Northwest= Catarina |East= Nuevo Progreso[3] |Southeast=Coatepeque, Quetzaltenango department municipality[3] }} See also
