The
Incles Valley (Catalan: Vall d’Incles; French: Vallée d’Inclès)
is located in the parish of Canillo,
northeast of Andorra, near the border with France, at 2,748 m (9,016 ft) of
altitude, in the Pyrenees mountain range. It is crossed by the river Incles,
very close to its confluence of the Valira d'Orient. On the right bank is the village
of Incles (375 inhabitants
in 2017), visible in the stamp.
