The Torres del Paine Legacy Fund is a nonprofit initiative that seeks to make tourism a vehicle for positive change in Patagonia. We work in Torres del Paine National Park, and its surrounding communities, on park conservation projects and community development initiatives. We aim to reduce strain on this destination's precious natural resources and address gaps in local economic opportunity.

Torres del Paine Legacy Fund, invites the local residents of Magallanes to exhibit their photographs of the Jekčal / Huemul at the Torres del Paine National Park, in order to show  visual aspects of the huemul and its habitats at the park acknowledging their presence as part of the local culture.
