26-year-old Juliana Marins had been traveling across Southeast Asia since February, visiting the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand before arriving in Indonesia.

Her family has alleged that she had fallen after her guide had left her and continued with the group when she got tired and wanted to rest.

Her family said the guide did not immediately report the incident and they only found out after a group of Spanish hikers saw Marins on their drone and informed the family.


The drone footage captured by other hikers later in the day confirmed Marins was on a slope below the main trail and was alive and conscious.

Through the drone footage, rescuers pinpointed her to have fallen about 300 meters on June 21 but were unable to reach her due to the terrain and unpredictable weather.

Marins' case captured the attention of tens of thousands of people , with one Instagram account sharing updates from Marins' family amassing more than 1.5 million followers.

On June 22, she was no longer at her initial location and was estimated to be at a depth of about 600 meters on June 23.

After 4 days of intensive search, the rescue team was finally able to locate Marins’ body on June 24 but it had no signs of life.

Family members have accused the guide and Indonesian authorities for being negligent, saying that it took days to reach Marins and she might have survived if if they had reached her within 7 hours of her fall, sparking calls for justice.
