Overview

  • Juliana Marins, 26, fell about 600 meters into a Mount Rinjani crater on June 21 while hiking with a small group and a local guide.
  • Search and rescue operations were hampered by dense fog, steep terrain and weather that prevented helicopter use, delaying recovery efforts.
  • Local volunteer climbers led by guide Agam Rinjani stepped in to secure and retrieve Marins’ body on June 25 after official teams struggled.
  • Marins’ family has accused Indonesian authorities of “severe neglect,” claiming she could have survived if reached within seven hours and pledging legal action.
  • The post-mortem in Denpasar, Bali, aims to establish the exact cause and time of death amid growing scrutiny of safety protocols at Indonesia’s adventure tourism sites.
