A young woman's attempt at adventure ended in tragedy after she fell from Indonesia's Mount Rinjani and was found dead four days later. Her story has sparked shock and grief across Brazil and questions about the safety measures on the popular but dangerous trail.
Juliana Marins, 26, was hiking near the crater of the active volcano on 21 June 2025, when she slipped and fell from a ridge about 600 metres (approximately 1,968 feet) down the mountain. Her fall was sudden and severe, leaving her stranded in a remote part of the terrain that is notoriously slippery and difficult to navigate.
