The Voltaire Falls are the largest waterfalls in French Guiana.

Downstream, the creek encounters hard granite rock, causing the creek to split in two parts that descend 35 metres in a steep slope of up to 40%.

[1] About 200 metres later, the two parts rejoin, confluence with the Sparouine Creek and continue onto the Maroni River.

[2] In 1990, a trail was built to access the falls by car, however a four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended.
