Born in Edgbaston, Birmingham, on November 23, 1868, Charles Reginald Enock trained in mining science and civil engineering. He traveled to Peru in 1903 to investigate mining interests and explore the country, later recording his experiences in The Andes and the Amazon: Life and Travel in Peru.
Enock wrote widely on Latin America, producing books on Peru, Mexico, Ecuador, the Panama Canal, Spanish America, and the Pacific coast. His work combined travel writing with discussions of history, topography, industries, commerce, and natural resources.
He died in Midhurst, West Sussex, on April 7, 1970, at the age of 101.
