From Roda de Berà, on the N side of the camí del Vendrell, follow a track signposted as camí de l'Avenc. Once past the masieta del Virgili, take the second fork to the left, which passes under the line of the Tren d'Alta Velocitat (what they call the AVE). A little over a hundred metres further on, some signs indicate the path leading to the cova d'en Duran.
