Brazilian tourist trapped 1600 feet inside Indonesian volcano

A 26-year-old tourist tumbled into an active volcano in Indonesia after she was “abandoned” by a local hiking guide, her sister told Brazilian TV station Fantástico.

Brazilian citizen Juliana Marins slipped and fell down a cliff Saturday morning from a trail that overlooks Mount Rinjani’s famous crater lake. She descended deep into the volcano, but drone footage confirms she miraculously survived the more than 1,000-foot slide.

Gunung Rinjani National Park said in a statement Monday that Marins has been “successfully monitored using a drone in a position stuck on a rock cliff at a depth of 500 meters and visually motionless.” That is equivalent to 1,600 feet, but reports say Marin has slipped farther into the volcano since her initial fall on Saturday.

Marins’ condition remains unclear on day three of her being in the volcano, but the BBC reports rescuers heard screams for help on Saturday. A massive rescue mission is underway, but attempts to reach her by helicopter were called off due to poor weather, and the park said subsequent rescue attempts by hikers were thwarted because of “extreme terrain and dynamic weather,” including “thick fog conditions.”

“For safety, the rescue team was pulled back to a safe position,” the park added.

Marins’ family is requesting assistance.

“A whole day and they advanced only 250 meters below, there were 350 meters left to reach Juliana, and they retreated,” her family said of rescue efforts in a statement on Instagram. “Once again! Another day! We need help, we need the rescue to reach Juliana urgently!”

The most recent statement from the family, shared Monday morning, said that “two well-experienced mountaineers from the area are headed to the scene of Juliana’s crash.” It added that “there is good backup with specialized equipment to accompany crews” on site.

Marins plunged into the volcano around 6:30 a.m. local time Saturday. Her sister, Marianna, told Fantástico that Marins “got very tired” during her hike and asked her guide “to stop for a while.” Ultimately, Marianna said the guide decided to continue without Marins.

“They continued on, and the guide didn’t stay with her,” Marianna said.

A friend of Marins said in a video statement that the hiker’s loved ones, including her parents, learned she was missing from social media. She alleged that Indonesian officials have provided conflicting updates about Marins’ status, including a false claim that she had been reached and provided with food and water.

“We’re living in a nightmare here,” the friend said.

Marianna said her sister was making the trek with a small group of five hikers and a single guide. She said her sister spent an hour resting alone before her tragic slip at sunrise.

“She didn’t know where to go,” Marianna said. “She didn’t know what to do. When the guide came back because he saw that she was taking too long, he saw that she had fallen down there.”

Marins posted photos from Indonesia to Instagram last week, showing her hiking, scuba diving, playing cards, and doing yoga in the Pacific island chain. She also shared a photo of herself with a large hiking backpack.

Other recent posts documented her travels to Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines. Her friend said in a video statement that she had saved up for a backpacking trip across Asia.

Marins is from Niterói, near Rio de Janeiro, where she works as a publicist, the U.S. Sun reports. Her Instagram shows she is also a pole dancer.

The Brazilian embassy in Jakarta is facilitating contact between the family and the company responsible for the tour, according to Brazil TV. The embassy did not respond to a request for information from the Daily Beast.

Rescue operations are underway to save a hiker who has been trapped inside an active volcano in Indonesia for three days.

At around 6:30 a.m. local time on Saturday, June 21, Brazilian tourist Juliana Marins, 26, fell off a cliff around Cemara Nunggal on route to the peak of Mount Rinjani on the Indonesian island of Lombok, according to a news release from the Gunung Rinjani National Park.

On Monday, June 23, the park stated on Facebook that a search and rescue team (SAR) was conducting an evacuation operation to try and recover Marins. She was “successfully monitored using a drone, in a position stuck on a rock cliff at a depth of 500 meters and visually motionless.”

“Two rescue personnel were deployed to reach the victim's location and check the second anchor point at a depth of 350m (1,140 ft). However, after observation, two large overhangs were found before reaching the victim, making it impossible to install the anchor. The rescue team had to climb to reach the victim,” the park said.

Helicopters have been used to try and accelerate the evacuation process. The rescue operation, however, has proved difficult due to extreme terrain and weather, with thick fog conditions reducing visibility, according to the release.

In drone footage obtained by Brazilian outlet TV Brasil EBC, Marins is seen conscious and fidgeting while sitting on gray soil in the volcano. According to the outlet, the rescue team has been able to reach Marins and supply her with food and water; however, they haven’t been able to remove her from the site.

Rescuers reportedly said they heard Marins screaming for help on Saturday. After descending 300m (984 ft) later that day, rescuers were no longer able to locate her and she didn’t reply to their call outs, the BBC reported, citing Mount Rinjani park authorities.

Drone footage taken on the morning of Sunday, June 22, showed that Marins was no longer at her original location. Rescuers were able to locate her again on Monday, June 23, but had to retreat due to “climate conditions,” according to BBC News.

Marins’ family shared in an Instagram post on Monday, June 23, “A WHOLE DAY and they had advanced only 250m below, they were 350m away from Juliana and they retreated. WE NEED HELP, WE NEED THE RESCUE TO REACH JULIANA URGENTLY!”

The family later posted in an update that two experienced guides were on their way to the site to help with the rescue. “The team remains on standby and committed to continuing the best efforts for safety,” the park added on Facebook.

What do you wager she lingered and fell behind the group for R1’s suggested selfie. The group starts moving on and she stays behind, taking pics and making tik toks.

Later, the guide realizes she’s gone and heads back.

There were others on the group but only the volcano diver’s sister is blaming the guide. That’s telling.

A pole dancer and a publicist. A very versatile young woman! Others are probably right--she stayed behind and took a selfie. Getting the others to safety and calling rescuers probably was the only prudent thing to do. The guide probably was not a mountaineer--probably some local trying to make more than whatever minimum wage is in Indonesia. She's lucky there's an infrastructure to attempt rescue there.

How do you just 'fall into' a volcano? She was taking selfies at the edge which the tour guide probably told everyone NOT to do.

I don't see how anyone on this thread can blame the tour guide - that's just gross.

And was her sister even there? If so - she abandoned her too. But I don't think her sister was. Who 'rests' for a whole HOUR allowing yourself to be separated from the group? She was hiking, scuba diving, mountaineering all over Asia before.

She wanted a sunrise pic over the volcano or some dumb shit. It's tragic but avoidable - and I do not blame the guide at all.

R45 - please question the story before you jump to conclusions. The whole 'being abandoned' is from her sister who sounds like she wasn't there. And you don't just 'rest for an hour' away from a group who also paid for the tour. She was doing countless physical activities in her prior weeks of travel - and she's a pole dancer - so this isn't someone out of shape who needed an entire hour to rest. She was most likely waiting for the sunrise.

Being Gen Z had nothing to do with it. It's questioning the truth of the story - and also we've seen hundreds of stories of people of all ages losing their lives over a selfie.

Blaming the tour guide is disgusting until we hear from the others on the tour. It's called taking risks and personal responsibility - not blaming everyone else for not stopping you from doing something stupid.

It's a multi-day climb. Day 2 they start at 2am. By the time they got there at 5:30, they had been climbing for 3.5 hours.

It doesn't say, but she could also have died from poisonous gases. Most volcanoes belch sulfuric gas periodically. Carbon dioxide in lethal quantities, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and a number of other poisonous gases. They wouldn't necessarily kill you immediately, although you'd feel very sick, but after a few days, definitely. Certainly lakes in volcanic regions of Africa have killed thousands of villagers near them, during poison gas releases.
