The Mexico Pavilion looks like an Aztec pyramid. Visitors enter through a display of Mexican artwork, the "Animales Fantasticos" art collection. The main room is the home to a twilight-lit Mexican marketplace, Plaza de los Amigos. At the edge of the plaza, a restaurant, San Angel Inn, overlooks an indoor lagoon. To the side of the plaza, a boarding area leads to a boat ride, El Rio del Tiempo (The River of Time), which takes the guest through the lagoon, past a model volcano, and then through Mexico, past and present.
