The Voltaire stream is located in western French Guiana, in the territory of Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni. A tributary of the Sparouine stream, it sits in the eastern part of the Maroni watershed. The little-visited site leads to the Voltaire falls at the end of a trail through remote terrain.
The place draws visitors seeking isolated landscapes:
The main access route is the Paul Isnard track, a 70 km laterite road that begins with a paved section from Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni before becoming more demanding. The track leads to the Voltaire Falls lodge at its far end. From there, a 3.3 km walk leads to the falls. The Tatou stream, along the way, offers a stopping point. Crossing some streams may be complex depending on the state of the infrastructure.

A 4WD vehicle is strongly recommended, especially in the rainy season. The last few kilometres of the track are poorly maintained and require a vehicle suited to rough terrain.
