Tragedy strikes as rescue efforts conclude with the discovery of Juliana Marins' body days after her fall.
Marins’ hike began around 6:30 AM local time with five companions when she fell from a steep trail. Witnesses indicated that the conditions were slippery and visibility was poor, complicating the already hazardous climb. Rescuers reported hearing Marins’ cries for help initially, but were unable to reach her due to the extreme atmosphere, including fog that inhibited the use of thermal drones.
Although drone footage captured her in distress moving on the ground after her fall, rescuers struggled to locate her. On Sunday, authorities found that she had seemingly moved farther from the original site of her fall, and search efforts were eventually suspended before concluding with a subsequent descent of 600 meters on Tuesday.

This tragic incident highlights the dangers of climbing the popular tourist destination, which has seen several fatalities in recent years, raising questions regarding safety protocols on the trails. Marins' family and fellow hikers have expressed grief and concern over the circumstances surrounding the trail's continued operation following her accident. The community reflects on the loss of a young woman whose adventurous spirit brought her to a breathtaking, yet perilous, part of the world.
