00:00Indonesian rescuers have recovered the body of a Brazilian woman who died after falling

00:07off a cliff while hiking on Mount Rinjani, the country's second-highest volcano.

00:12The victim, 27-year-old Juliana Morens, was trekking with five friends on the 3,726-meter

00:19mountain in West Nusa Tenggara on Saturday when she slipped and fell.

00:24Her body was located on Tuesday, but recovery efforts were delayed by thick fog and steep,

00:30challenging terrain.

00:31We wanted to do the evacuation as fast as possible by using a railway aircraft.

00:38And that became the first alternative, because the weather was not possible.

00:44The second alternative, with the situation of the victims, we can move on.

00:50We wanted to go on, and if the weather was good, we wanted to take a helicopter again to

00:57catch up using air media.

01:02And the weather was not possible.

01:06So, the victims are forced to do the evacuation as possible.

01:14Mount Rinjani, an active volcano, is a popular destination for both local and international

01:21hikers.

01:22According to local media, several tourists, including a Malaysian hiker last month, have died

01:28in similar accidents in recent years.
