Figueres dilahirkan pada 25 September 1906 di Kosta Rika. Lokasinya penting, menurut penulis biografinya yang terbaik, karena orangtuanya berasal dari sebuah tempat yang membuat kebanyakan rakyat Kosta Rika iri, dan ia dilahirkan dalam sebuah bangsa yang menjunjung tinggi latar belakang Spanyolnya yang tanpa cacat. Figueres adalah anak sulung dari empat anak seorang dokter Catalan Spanyol dan istrinya, seorang guru. yang baru saja berimigrasi dari Spanyol ke [[San Ramon]] di Kosta Rika bagian tengah-barat.
<!--Figueres was born Sept. 25, 1906 in Costa Rica. The locations are significant, according to his best biographer, because his parents came from a world of wide ambition that most Costa Ricans envied, and he was born in a nation that put a high value on his impeccable Spanish background. Figueres was the eldest of the four children of a Spanish Catalan doctor and his wife, a teacher, who had recently immigrated from Spain to [[San Ramon]] in west-central Costa Rica.

Against his father's wishes, he traveled to [[Boston]] and attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), studying hydroelectric engineering while he worked in a Tea Company as a translator. His preparatory courses, however, seemed repetitive, so he quit school. He claimed to have spent the entire time in the United States putting himself through a self-guided, rigorous reading curriculum reading in the Boston Public Library, which he later called his alma mater. At Boston Public Library he learned more about social philosophy and hydroelectric science than even MIT might have been able to teach him. When he returned to Costa Rica in 1928, he continued his education, spending most of his time either working or studying the works of Martí, Cervantes, Kant, and Nietzsche <sup id="fn_2_back">[[#fn 2|2]], </sup><sup id="fn_4_back">[[#fn 4|4]], </sup><sup id="fn_7_back">[[#fn 7|7]], </sup><sup id="fn_12_back">[[#fn 12|12]]</sup> -->
