The Wonotobo Falls (Dutch: Wonotobovallen) are a series of waterfalls in the Courantyne River in Sipaliwini District, Suriname near the border with Guyana.
The waterfalls are situated about 250 kilometres (160 mi) from the mouth of the Courantyne River.
According to Schomburgk, the full name was "Mawari Wonotopo" (the spot where the blue crane sleeps).
[4] A carbon dating of charcoal yielded an age of 1900 ± 40 BP[5] making it the oldest complex in the Guianas at the time.
[6] Most of the petroglyphs are in the Corantijn Basin, and provide an important insight into the ceremonial, mythical and religious world of these precontact indigenous peoples.
