[ Learn more about each project here.](https://amatorresdelpaine.org/proyectos/) Reconstruction of the Base Torres Trail In progress  Patagonia Towers, together with Las Torres Conservancy, ConservationVIP, Legacy Fund and CONAF, have developed a plan to create a new section of trail that reduces erosion, improves soil composition, avoids steep slopes, and reduces the effect of rainfall. Approximately 5 kilometers (3 miles) of trail have been built to date, with an emphasis on logistical and pedestrian trails. The next step is to extend the trail to the Chileno Hostel, adding an additional 1 to 1.5 kilometers (approx. 1 mile). The total investment is close to $400 million pesos (approx. $425,000 USD), which covers the first sections and sets aside future funds for complementary infrastructure. ![Nossa Historia AMA-1](https://helpcenter.lastorres.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Nossa%20Historia%20AMA-1.jpg?width=688&height=585&name=Nossa%20Historia%20AMA-1.jpg) Reconstruction of Interpretive Trail Completed The Interpretive Trail, which is open to the public, is a 2.2 kilometer (1.4 mile) trail designed for hikers of all ages. With walkways made of wood-plastic composite, the trail allows visitors to explore nature without damaging it. In approximately 1.5 hours, visitors can see more than 30 species of birds, orchids, and native trees, as well as learn about the geomorphology and formation of glaciers. ![Sendero Interpretativo - AMA Torres del Paine](https://helpcenter.lastorres.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sendero%20Interpretativo%20-%20AMA%20Torres%20del%20Paine.jpg?width=688&height=525&name=Sendero%20Interpretativo%20-%20AMA%20Torres%20del%20Paine.jpg) Pionero Bar - Eco Design In progress We recycle glass bottles to make glasses for the Pionero Bar at Hotel Las Torres. We have produced up to two thousand glasses a year. Each bottle weighs 1.8 kilograms (4 lbs.), so there are 3,600 kilos (8,000 lbs.) of glass available to be recycled. The glasses weigh 1.2 kilograms (2.6 lbs.), and about 66% of the bottle is used to make each glass, so that only 216 kilograms (476 lbs.) of the total glass is discarded.  ![bar x\_3](https://helpcenter.lastorres.com/hs-fs/hubfs/social-suggested-images/bar%20x_3.png?width=688&height=344&name=bar%20x_3.png) Seed Orchard Project In progress The project's main objective is to collect and conserve *lenga* beech seeds for use in the restoration and conservation of native forests. It was established as a space dedicated to the production of high quality seeds, thus helping to preserve genetic diversity and promote the natural regeneration of *lenga* forests. ![Plan de acción para la conservación Lenga](https://helpcenter.lastorres.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Plan%20de%20acci%C3%B3n%20para%20la%20conservaci%C3%B3n%20Lenga.jpg?width=688&height=360&name=Plan%20de%20acci%C3%B3n%20para%20la%20conservaci%C3%B3n%20Lenga.jpg)   Forest Nursery In progress The main objective of the Forest Nursery is to grow *lenga* saplings for use in reforestation, ecosystem restoration, and biodiversity conservation projects in Las Torres Reserve and Torres del Paine. Through eco-friendly nursery practices, we seek to ensure the availability of these trees to improve tree cover and the health of natural ecosystems. ![lenga\_1 (1)](https://helpcenter.lastorres.com/hs-fs/hubfs/lenga_1%20(1).jpg?width=688&height=344&name=lenga_1%20(1).jpg) Torres del Paine Fire Brigade In progress The Fire Brigade is a team of volunteers that specializes in preventing, controlling, and extinguishing forest and structural fires, focusing on the conservation of biodiversity and the landscape.
