by Reders in Indonesia are looking for a Brazilian tourist who fell while walking near the crater of Mount Rinjani, an active volcano.
Brazilian media and the woman’s family have identified her as the 26-year-old Juliana Marins, who walked with a group when she disappeared on Saturday around 6:30 am local time.
The Brazilian authorities said she fell from “a cliff that surrounds the path next to the crater of the volcano”.
Search and rescue attempts have so far not been successful because of the extreme site and the foggy weather, according to the Indonesian authorities.
The authorities of Mount Rinjani Park said in a social media post that rescuers had heard the screams of Mrs. Marins for help on Saturday. At that time she was safe, although she seemed to be in shock, they said.
Drone images and other clips filmed by hikers who circulate and worn online by Brazilian media seem to show that she lived on Saturday. She was seen and moved in gray soil, far under a hiking trail.
But later that day, rescuers could not find her when they descended 300 meters (984ft) to where they believed that Mrs. Marins was, nor did she answer on their phone calls.
By Sunday morning, drone images showed that she was no longer at her previous location, said that park authorities, who added that thick fog had impeded rescue efforts and had influenced the use of a thermal drone.
On Monday, rescuers were able to find Mrs. Marins again, who, according to the family, seemed to have fallen even further, but had to stop due to “climate conditions”.
Rescuers had “only stood down 250 meters down, they had 350m left to reach Juliana, but they withdrew,” said the family on their social media account.
The family also claimed that the park will remain open and that tourists still did the same walk “while Juliana needs help! We don’t know the state of her health! She still has no water, food or warm clothing for three days!”
The BBC has contacted the family of Mrs. Marins and the authorities of Mount Rinjani Park for comment.
The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that it was in contact with the Indonesian government and two embassy staff to check the rescue efforts.
Satyawan Pudyatmoko, an official from the forestry operation in Indonesia, said on Monday that climbers should prioritize their safety while walking.
In 2022 a Portuguese man died after a cliff on the top of Mount Rinjani. In May of this year, a Malaysian walker also died after a fall while climbing the volcano.
With a height of more than 3,700 m, Mount Rinjani is the second highest volcano in Indonesia and a popular walking place for tourists.
