A Brazilian tourist who fell off the Mount Merapi volcano in Indonesia has been found dead. The incident occurred on Wednesday morning when the tourist, identified as Marcos, was hiking on the volcano located on the island of Java. Authorities believe that Marcos lost his footing and fell into the crater while trying to take a selfie.
Local search and rescue teams were immediately dispatched after Marcos was reported missing by his travel companions. Efforts to locate him were challenging due to the rugged terrain and the active volcanic activity in the area. It took several hours for the teams to recover Marcos’s body from the crater.
The Brazilian Embassy in Indonesia has been informed of the tragic incident, and arrangements are being made to repatriate Marcos’s body back to Brazil. The Indonesian authorities have stated that they will conduct a thorough investigation to understand the circumstances that led to the tourist’s fatal fall.
Mount Merapi is one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes and a popular destination for hikers and tourists despite the dangers posed by its volcanic activity. Visitors are warned to exercise caution and adhere to safety guidelines when exploring the area.
Both Brazilian and Indonesian authorities have expressed their condolences to Marcos’s family and friends during this difficult time.
