Hi!

The particle "up" (adverb) is used to show "completion" in most of the cases, for instance "to end up".

To end up doing something = terminar (al fin) haciendo algo

You see that we could have said just "to end doing something" but in this case the meaning would have been different, so we need the "up" to show the meaning that we have reached some point in the end, that we have accomplished some purpose we had in the beginning.
