Disturbing last photo of tourist who fell in volcano and was left to die by guide

A young backpacker’s final moments were captured in haunting images after she fell into a volcano, with questions now mounting after she was reportedly “abandoned” by her tour guide.

Juliana Marins, a 26-year-old from Brazil, had a heart wired for exploration. Since February, she had been on a dream journey through Southeast Asia, documenting each step and sharing messages with her loved ones back home – especially her mother, Estela, and father, Manoel Marins.

“Never try never fly,” she wrote in an Instagram post on June 10, before her profile was made private.

Meanwhile back home, the vibe was very different.

‘Fly Juju’

“Fly Juju Fly Fly,” writes her dad in a Facebook tribute to Juliana – his “Juju” – after her adventure of a lifetime ended in tragedy on June 21.

“Juliana lived the today, the now, the present. And she lived very well,” Manoel writes, adding that she had “the will to live, to be, to experience and not just to exist.”

“My beauty, my treasure, my daughter, my love. You have always been very special. Silly, restless, with a beautiful smile and an enormous will to live intensely.”

“My girl, in her only 26 years of life, outlived many twice or triple her age. Ju, I will always remember your smile, your witty jokes, your affection. And like I always told you I’m still here for you.”

Slips into volcano

On June 21, while hiking with a group of tourists on Lombok’s Mount Rinjani – one of the country’s most majestic but perilous volcanoes – Juliana slipped and fell.

According to the Sun, the group’s guide Ali Musthofa claimed she was taking a “break,” and was only “three minutes” behind the group.

When he backtracked looking for her, he discovered the Rio de Janeiro woman had fallen into the active volcano.

“I saw the light of a flashlight on a ravine about 150 meters deep and heard Juliana’s voice calling for help,” Musthofa said.

She initially plunged nearly 490 feet before sliding even further down the rocky slope of the volcanic landscape.

Cries for help

Juliana found herself isolated, injured, and clinging to a rock face. Her screams echoed off the walls of the crater as she waited – alone – for help that would take days to arrive.

For four long days, rescue teams fought treacherous
