It is one of the largest waterfalls in the country.
The falls extend over just over 100 meters; the largest drop descends more than 10 meters.
They are situated in tropical rainforest (high forest) and are particularly impressive during the rainy season due to the water power and the noise.
Visitors can swim among the rocks, hike, and enjoy nature.
They were discovered in 1897 by Corstiaan van Drimmelen (then District Commissioner of Nickerie) and named after his wife.
The location is accessible via the southern East-West Connection (approximately an 8-hour drive from Paramaribo), but the road is often difficult to navigate during the rainy season.
It is a popular tourist destination, often combined with visits to indigenous villages such as Washabo or Apoera.
