The history of the Chira Dam begins on August 30, 1932, in the middle of the 2nd Republic, when the Cabildo of Gran Canaria requested the concession of the discontinuous public waters that flow through the Barranco de Chira in order to fill the Soria reservoir. However, the difficulties that occurred during the processing of the project corresponding to the Soria Dam motivated the Provincial Chief Engineer to order the replacement of the diversion dam solution with a reservoir dam (to focus its objective on water storage) and He ordered the drafting of a new project that was approved in 1941. During the almost 25 years that the work lasted, 36,000 cubic meters were excavated, two quarries were opened to obtain 28,000 cubic meters of masonry for the body of the dam, 40,000 cubic meters of inert materials They built almost 37 kilometers of access roads and an 18-kilometer distribution channel, 28 tons of explosives were used and lime silos and a water tank had to be built.
Roque Nublo (Clouded Rock, Rock in the Clouds) is a volcanic rock on the island of Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. It is 80 m (262 ft) tall, and its top is 1,813 m (5,948 ft) above sea level. The Roque Nublo is the third highest point on the island of Gran Canaria, after the Morro de la Agujereada at 1,956 m (6,417 ft),and the Pico de las Nieves at 1,949 m (6,394 ft). It was formed by a volcanic eruption around 4.5 million years ago.[citation needed]
Arguineguín is one of the most local populated towns along the south coast of Gran Canaria, Spain. A once typical Canarian fishing village, it is now home to both locals and tourists, as the settlement has continued to grow.

Amazing experience with my 2 kids age 12 and 15. If you want to explore parts of Gran Canaria it’s certainly recommend. Thanks for the day
Despite of changed route becouse of recent storm, we had exciting and great adventure. Our guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable. The Jeeps were in great condition and very fun to drive.
We did the Jeep Tour in December. It was just great. Just the right mix of on-road and off-road. Great tour. There are small breaks and a lunch break in a restaurant in the mountains. Each driver or couple gets their own jeep. The jeeps are doing great. I'm totally thrilled. Anyone who can drive normally well can participate. Even if it gets tight on the mountain roads (rarely) our guide has instructed us relaxed. On the road you usually drive 40 to 50, off-road 15 to 20km/h, which fits exactly to see something of the landscape even as a driver. Anytime again, thank you:-)
What a fantastic experience we had on the Jeep tour. The vehicles, for 30yrs+ wanglers were in tip top condition, very clean and you could tell that they're very well looked after. We did a tour with another couple in two separate jeeps, the tour itself was brilliant, the pase was just right and each time we stopped we had information about the island and the surrounding area. Lunch at the restaurant stop was also top notch and value for money. What I liked about this experience is that you drove and had full control of the vehicle yourself and not just sitting in a vehicle been driven by someone else. All in all, a very enjoyable fun day, just the right amount of driving as to not the get complacent and make driving mistakes. Highly recommend and great value for money.
In short: We had a blast! The Jeep was fun to drive, the route was beautiful and Samir was a great and knowledgeable guide! We booked this tour because we wanted to get behind the wheel ourselves (and most tours simple have you sit in the back of a 4x4 driven by someone else) and it was a right choice. Samir took us along a beautiful route through the mountains and valleys of Gran Canaria and told us a lot about the scenery, history and culture of the island along the way. The route definitely kept you paying attention to the dirt road you’re on and felt adventurous, but never dangerous or sketchy. We were always following the pace and route our guide Samir set for us so the Jeeps were always within their limits and comfort zone. The Jeeps are quirky and engaging to drive, but still very managable and forgiving. Useful to know: you’re gonna get dusty. Don’t wear anything you’d like to wear out for dinner that same evening. We also brought water and snacks but halfway through we also stopped at a restaurant for a (very good!) lunch. All in all, highly recommended for anyone who likes to go off the beaten path.
Amazing family day out. Guide was great, very knowledgeable and passionate about the island which really got you in the mood for a day out. The jeeps were in great condition and very capable throughout the journey. A good mixture of both on and off road with plenty of stops to take in the amazing peaceful views. Never felt rushed throughout the trip, stop at a lovely little spot in the hills for some lunch. Would 100% recommend booking with these guys you won’t be disappointed.
Great experience, our guide Samir was great. The views are amazing. It’s great driving the jeeps. Would highly recommend this tour as a way to see more of the world island.
What a fantastic day samir was great the jeeps was fun the roads was a little scary but breathtaking samirs knowledge of the island is second to none we stopped off at a fantastic restaurant for a little snack again great money well spent and well worth it 👌 cheers samir and chris 😀
We went today and were the only ones booked. Pick up from the hotel was bang on time . Had a fantastic time with Samir who talked about the island with such passion . It was great to be able to drive the wrangler jeep ourselves and to have so many things pointed out to us with a stop at a restaurant for food and drinks. Totally preferred this tour over a jeep safari where you have a driver. Would definitely recommend this excursion and will deffo do again if we return to the island
Fantastic day off driving the jeep yourself around the mountain . Throughly enjoyed the experience . The people in charge were amazing and showed us fantastic views you wouldn't experience otherwise
