Travel Guide Camp Voltaire

From Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, at the roundabout, go along the road between the stadium and the cemetery towards Saint John (D 11). About 2,5 km away, turn left in the big corner and follow direction Saint-Maurice, then cascades Voltaire. Continue on the road of Paul-Isnard. You will pass in front of the rum distillery (on your right). Right now, tar places à, and the trail goes into the forest. If you want to picnic, you can stop at PK 27,5 at Tatou Creek. Pass the giblets that border the first kilometers, the KP 32 sawmill. To PK 46, you will face two tracks. Take that on the right. Then you will pass the Militaire military camp. At KP 70 you will arrive at the parking lot (a vacant area) of Voltaire hostel where you can leave your car. It is more prudent to learn about the state of the roads before there is a risk, especially during the rainy season (contact the St. Lawrence Tourism Office at Tel 05 94 34 23 98). In principle, 300 m further, you will find a information panel. The trail is left after the passage of the creek. The one leading to the falls winds about 3,3 km (about 1 hour walk) along Voltaire Creek. This cove will throw itself into Sparouine Creek. Let's go back to this trail. At the end of the day you will discover beautiful falls on a difference of 35 m spread over 200 m in length. Of course, its flow depends on the season. A carbet (free of charge, 20 places) allows you to picnic or sleep. Another, about ten places, lies above the falls. Respect all these places that you will be lucky enough to enjoy and leave with your garbage bins. The most courageous have the opportunity to walk for another 2 hours to arrive at other falls, 41 m high, in the place of the Old Broussard falls. There is a carbet to ask his hammock. After a relatively strenuous journey, swimming in clear and fresh waters of waterfalls is a moment of intense pleasure. Voltaire Falls are a particularly popular site in Guyana.
