The Brazilian national, who was both a publicist and a dancer from Niterói, near Rio de Janeiro, found herself trapped for four days after falling while attempting to trek up Indonesia’s second-highest volcano.

She had been backpacking through Southeast Asia since February, documenting her solo trip on social media.

In heartbreaking footage, shared by a pal she met along her travels, Juliana could be seen joking and dancing in the days before her death.

More clips showed the adventurous 26-year-old showing off the stunning vistas while riding on mopeds.

Other shots revealed the dancer jumping into picturesque sinkholes and exploring caverns.

In a tragic last video, Juliana and her friend Frederica, jibed about the view at the top of Mount Rinjani as it had been concealed by cloud cover.

“I met Juliana the day before the trip. We were both traveling alone. We managed to make it all the way to the top. It was very challenging. We climbed about 1,500 meters,” Federica shared with G1 after the incident.

In the clip Federica says sarcastically: “The view is amazing, you can tell it was so worth it.”

Juliana jokes: “Yeh, we did it for the view, so I’m glad, amazing!”.

This comes as distressing drone footage was also released which revealed Juliana trapped in a pit on the volcano as rescuers tried to reach her.

Tourists on the Indonesian island of Lombok spotted her inside the crater after hearing screams for help.

Juliana survived the fall but was unable to climb back up due to her injuries and had no access to food, water or shelter.

The first rescue team was dispatched at 2.32pm local time on Saturday.

After the initial alarm was raised, six more rescue teams tried to reach her.

They were supported by two helicopters and equipment including an industrial drill.

Cold temperatures and fog made search efforts on Sunday harder to navigate but a drone was able to locate Juliana.

The search for Juliana was hampered by fog

However, when rescuers descended the volcano on Monday, she was no longer in the same spot.

Rescuers finally located her on Tuesday, but it was tragically too late.

Her family confirmed her death on social media, writing: “Today, the rescue team managed to reach the place where Juliana Marins was.

“With great sadness, we inform you that she did not survive.

“We remain very grateful for all the prayers, messages of affection and support that we have received.”

Earlier this week, Nikolas Osman, spokesperson for the East Lombok Police, said Juliana was hiking in a group and fell after suffering fatigue.

He stated: “As we were heading towards the summit of Rinjani on the route to the Cemara Tunggal area, the victim began experiencing fatigue, at which point the guide advised her to take a rest.”

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

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

Indonesian authorities deployed three helicopters to try and rescue Juliana, according to West Nusa Tenggara governor Lalu Muhamad Iqbal.

Iqbal told reporters: “One helicopter from the Indonesian Armed Forces and national search and rescue agency (Basarnas) is expected to arrive at Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International Airport (BIZAM) around 2pm local time today.”

Before the incident, Juliana had visited Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.
