Helpfulness
There is no other way to get to Encamp than by road (car, bus or bicycle). I drove to Andorra from Toulouse in southern France which took me almost 3 hours. Encamp is located along the main France - Andorra - Spain highway, 27 km from French border crossing point (Pas de la Casa) and 6 km from Andorra la Vella. The town looked like a ghost town. Thus I had no problem to park my car. Follow the link below for more details on how to get to Andorra from abroad.
Encamp stretches along the valley, north of the main highway, at the distance of over 1 km. It's easy to walk around. One warning: the cobbled streets of Encamp after short rain were very slippery. Watch your steps.

The only way into Andorra is by road. The major automobile routes into and out of Andorra include the CG1 from Spain and the CG2 from France. If you take the latter, you'll pass through the unforgettable Port d'Envalira, the highest pass in the Pyrenees (2410m/7900ft).
The nearest Spanish airports are in Barcelona and Girona; the nearest French airport is Toulouse-Blagnac. The French railway station closest to Andorra is L'Hospitalet-près-l'Andorre, two hours south of Toulouse by train. From there, daily buses make the two hour trip to Andorra la Vella. The nearest Spanish railway station is about 40km (25km) east of the Andorran border at Puigcerdà. It has daily bus connections to Andorra la Vella via Seu d'Urgell.
Buses from France to Andorra leave from the railway stops of L'Hospitalet, La Tour de Carol and Ax-les-Thermes. Buses from Spain leave from Barcelona, Burgos, Madrid, Tarragona, Tuy, Valladolid and Zaragoza.
Cooperativa Interurbana buses leave from the Plaça Príncep Benlloch stop in Andorra la Vella for several destinations along Andorra's three main highways. Autobus Parroquial de La Massana i d'Ordino operates a few routes from La Massana and Ordino. Taxis are available in the larger villages, but you'll have to phone. During ski season, there are shuttle buses to ski resorts from the nearest villages. Andorrans drive on the right.
