A STRANDED tourist finds herself stuck within an active volcano for three days after a terrifying hiking accident, prompting urgent rescue efforts.

The young woman, who works as a publicist and pole dancer, reportedly screamed as she lost her footing on the treacherous 12,200ft-tall volcano.

She took a terrifying plunge off the edge overlooking the volcano’s famous crater lake in the morning of June 21.

Shocking drone footage showed stranded Juliana sitting in a hellish volcano pit, appearing out of energy and desperate for help.

She is said to have rolled nearly 1,000ft down the slope before coming to a stop in a rocky ravine on the Indonesian island of Lombok.

Juliana, from Rio de Janeiro, was spotted by passing tourists after they heard her harrowing screams for help.

She was lying on the ground alive, but was unable to climb back up the hazardous slopes.

Authorities are still battling to reach her and pull her to safety.

Nikolas Osman, a spokesperson for the East Lombok Police, mentioned that Juliana was traveling with a group aiming to reach Rinjani’s peak at the Cemara Tunggal area.

He said: “The victim experienced fatigue and the guide at that time advised her to rest.

“Then the five guests in the tour group were taken by the guide to continue the journey.”

He continued: “However, by the time he returned to fetch her, the Brazilian woman was already missing.”

A rescue team was dispatched to the scene after receiving an emergency call at 2:32pm local time.

The head of the Mount Rinjani National Park Office, said: “The team has descended 300 metres but we have not reached the victim.

“We tried to call out to her but there was no response.”

Gruelling rescue efforts on Sunday morning were plagued by cold and extremely foggy conditions.

The Mount Rinjani head also said that the stranded hiker had moved since she initially fell.

He said: “At 10:00 WITA, visual information from the drone showed that the victim was no longer at the previous point.”

Officials confirmed the search was continuing on Monday.

More drones have been deployed to help the search – while dozens of rescuers rappelled down the volcano to cover ground towards Lake Segara Anak.

Juliana’s sister, Mariana Marins, hit back at fake news reports that her sibling had been safely rescued.

She said: “We received, with great concern and apprehension, information that the rescue team took food, water and warm clothing to Juliana.

“This is not true.”

The heartbroken sister added: “The information we have is that so far they have not been able to reach her, because the rescue ropes were not long enough, in addition to the low visibility.

“All the videos that were made are lies, including the one of the rescue arriving at her.

“The video was forged to look like that, along with this message associated with it.”

She made a devastating revelation, saying: “We even celebrated. It was a shock to find out that it was a lie.”

The Brazilian Foreign Ministry said that their embassy in Jakarta had sent representatives to monitor the rescue.

Juliana had been on a solo trip across Asia since February.

Before the terrifying fall, she had previously visited Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines, documenting her journey on her social media.
