The Blanche Marie Falls (Dutch: Blanche Marievallen) is one of the largest waterfalls of Suriname. The falls are located on the Nickerie River.[1]

The Blanche Marie Falls were discovered in 1897 by Corstiaan van Drimmelen [nl], who was district commissioner of Nickerie at the time. Van Drimmelen named the falls after his wife. The falls are a popular tourist destination and can be reached by car via the Southern East-West Link.[2]
