The family of the Brazilian national who died after becoming trapped in an active volcano believe she could have been saved.

Juliana Marins, 26, fell from a cliff near Cemara Nunggal en route to the peak of Mount Rinjani in Indonesia last month.

The backpacker was meant to be having the time of her life solo traveling South East Asia, and was on a hike when the incident occurred.

She is said to have asked the guide for a break, but the group allegedly carried on without her, and when the guide returned, they found Juliana had fallen down the cliff.

It was confirmed on June 24 that after days of rescue efforts, Juliana had sadly died, with the backpacker's family confirming her tragic passing in a devastating statement.

A translated message from the day of her death read: "Today, the rescue team managed to reach the place where Juliana Marins was. With immense 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."

A later autopsy revealed the Brazilian had 'died of internal bleeding caused by damage to organs and bone fractures'.

Forensic specialist Dr. Ida Bagus Putu Alit said, per News.com.au: "I could see that the worst [injuries] were related to the respiratory system, and there were wounds to the chest area, and especially the chest and the back.

"These injuries damaged the internal organs. We saw a huge amount of bleeding in the chest cavity."

Juliana's family have since come out and claimed she could have been saved if the search team had acted with more urgency in the search.

According to Brazilian broadcaster TV Globo, the family said: "If the team had reached her within the estimated time of seven hours, Juliana would still be alive.

Despite that, Juliana's family went on to say they are 'grateful' for all the support.

An initial search and rescue mission for the Brazilian national was called off earlier last month due to weather conditions, but when authorities were able to help Julian again, it was too late.
