One theory they are exploring is that she may have fallen from the boat.
However, authorities did not say how many people were on the trip and whether they were wearing life vests.
In the videos, the 21-year-old model is seen posing in sunglasses and a bikini while enjoying the sunny afternoon on the boat.
Another clip shows the Maguari River at sunset with music playing in the background.
