You can park up at the village of Vega de Rio Palma, south of Betancuria.

The route is signposted to Ajuy. You then walk the barranco (dry river valley) for about 30 mins, until you get to the dam.  The rock formation and chapel in the photo is south of the dam.

See the photos f the route on http://www.freewebs.com/caletafuerteventura/apps/photos/album?albumid=11337135 (http://www.freewebs.com/caletafuerteventura/apps/photos/album?albumid=11337135)
