Lombok is directly east of the island of Bali.
The woman's family identified her on social media as Brazilian tourist Juliana Marins and, on June 24, posted she did not survive the catastrophe.
"Today a rescue team managed to reach the place Juliana Marins was," the post on Instagram reads. "With great sadness we inform you that she did not survive."
According to a release from park officials, search and rescue team reported the hiker was spotted "using a drone, in a position stuck on a rock cliff at a depth of 500 meters and visually motionless."

'Extreme terrain and dynamic weather'
Helicopters, at the governor's instruction, were dispatched to the area in an effort to help, the release reads.
"Two rescue personnel were deployed to reach the victim's location and check the second anchor point at a depth of 350m (1,140 ft)," the park wrote in the post. "However, after observation, two large overhangs were found before reaching the victim, making it impossible to install the anchor. The rescue team had to climb to reach the victim."
But, park officials reported, "extreme terrain and dynamic weather," dense fog conditions, and narrowed visibility have hampered the recovery.
"The team remains vigilant and committed to continue best efforts for safety and humanity," the post reads.
USA TODAY has reached out to Marins' family.
Efforts continued on June 24, park officials said.
"Pray for the safety of the whole team on the field," the post reads.
