Marins was exploring Southeast Asia before arriving in Indonesia and was hiking with friends guided by a professional when the incident occurred. Reports from fellow hikers reveal that the trail was treacherous with slippery conditions and poor visibility. Drones dispatched to locate her encountered difficulties, particularly due to fog that concealed her whereabouts. Despite the timely response of rescue teams, they faced multiple setbacks, including adverse weather typical of the region, which hindered their ability to navigate the rough terrain effectively.

Following the discovery of her body, Marins' family expressed their heartbreak and gratitude for the community's support during the ordeal. The incident has raised concerns regarding safety measures on the popular climbing site, noting that the hiking trail reportedly remained open despite the earlier incident. Mount Rinjani, the second-highest volcano in Indonesia, draws thousands of tourists each year but has seen several fatal accidents in the past, prompting discussions about the necessity for improved safety protocols for future climbers.

With the tragedy of Marins’ death, families and safety advocates alike are calling for reevaluation of climbing safety standards in Indonesia, particularly on hazardous trails like those on Mount Rinjani.
