Peribán, Mexico, set the 2022 Guinness record for the largest serving of guacamole.
The achievement took place on November 20, 2022, in Peribán, a municipality in the Mexican state of Michoacán. Guinness World Records recorded the serving at 4,972 kilograms, or about 10,961 pounds—nearly five metric tons of guacamole.
The event reflected Michoacán’s importance in avocado production. The giant batch used locally grown avocados along with familiar guacamole ingredients such as onion, tomato, serrano pepper, lime, and cilantro. Hundreds of people helped prepare it; Guinness records 500 participants.
A common mix-up is confusing Peribán with nearby Michoacán municipalities such as Tancítaro, which had held an earlier record. The question refers specifically to the record set in 2022, so Peribán remains the canonical answer even though Guinness records can later be broken by new attempts.
