What is there to enjoy?

Las Torres

Among the most famous mountains in the world, these three granite peaks rise into the sky at 2,850 m (9,350 ft), 2,800 m (9,200 ft), and 2,600 m (8,500 ft). Molded by sheer glacial force, these are the impressive towers that give the park its name.

Teamwork and New Friendships

Join a group of volunteers who will hike and repair the Base Torres Trail. Since 2005, Conservation VIP ® has been bringing volunteers together to improve Torres del Paine’s hiking trails, protect an international treasure and build lasting friendships.

Help Thousands of People

Torres del Paine National Park has heavily-trodden trails which encroach on surrounding wildlife and habitats. Given its limited resources, the Torres del Paine community needs your help facing these challenges. Volunteers will work on trail construction and maintenance, contributing significantly to this wonderful landscape’s protection so everyone can continue enjoying it.
