After dropping home Marcone's brother and his girlfriend on Sunday night, they decided to spend some more time in each other's company.
The pair began being intimate - but then the car started rolling and fell over the edge.
Cops think it fell at around 1am on Monday morning.
Around 100m into the fall — before the car hit the ground — the pair were thrown from the vehicle, likely after it struck a rock.
Their car carried on tumbling for another 300 metres before coming to rest, completely smashed up.
The couple were found naked, not far from the mangled wreckage
Police officer Alberto Roque Peres, who is leading the investigation, said there is no evidence of foul play so far.
He told local media: 'There were no signs of violence at the scene or on the bodies, and the car's handbrake was engaged."
Investigators suspect the couple's movements inside the parked vehicle caused it to shift and teeter over the cliff edge.
The car was found on private property at around 7am by a caretaker clearing the land.

The officer added: 'Residents reported hearing a loud noise between 1:30am and 2am, but because it was dark and the vegetation was thick, no one saw anything at the time."
Marcone's body was discovered at the base of the cliff, while firefighters had to navigate steep terrain to recover Adriana's.
The couple had been together for about six months.
Family and friends describe their relationship as healthy, with no reports of fights or violence.

Neither had a criminal record, according to police.
Marcone was originally from Belo Horizonte and had been living in Venda Nova do Imigrante for a short time, working as a machine operator.
Adriana was a local who had spent 16 years working at her mother's bakery.
She leaves behind a son and a daughter from a previous relationship.

Moment unsuspecting painter is sent flying through air in terrifying crash after car comes out of nowhere
THIS is the terrifying moment a painter is sent flying through the air in a horrifying crash after a car comes out of nowhere. The unidentified man is thought to have been working on a property in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, on August 13. 5 5 At the start of the footage he is seen wearing a blue t-shirt and black shorts and half way up a ladder working away. His white van is parked close by and his equipment is spread out on the pavement below him. A white car passes by as he climbs down and moves out of sight of the camera. The video then cuts to him standing in the middle of the road examining his work. The painter then moves off the road and towards his van as a grey car drives along the road. While he is standing next to his van a car, initially out of shot can be heard hurtling along the road. The sound of the motor's brakes screeching then rings out on the footage. A greyish-white car can then be seen slamming into the back of the van. The parked van is pushed into the painter with immense force sending the poor man flying. The car, having collided with the van, veers across the road and spins around before coming to a halt. Moment 'worst driver ever seen' sends TWO cars flying in horror 100mph crash during police chase The painter is thrown into the air and looks to smash into the wall of a nearby building. He tumbles end over end across the pavement before finding his feet. Fortunately, the painter although seemingly a little dazed by the accident, appears to be uninjured. He is seen walking along the middle of the road and appears to mutter to himself: 'F**k me' as he heads back towards his van. 5 5 He puts a hand to his head as he approaches his van to inspect the damage done to it. Looking at the back of his now smashed up van the painter wanders out of shot as he recovers from the shock of the impact. The silver car is left wrecked in the middle of the road with parts of it strewn across the tarmac. It is unclear if the driver of the car suffered any injuries in the collision. The Sun has contacted Durham Police for comment and further information.
