Born in Cauquenes to Miguel Varas Vallejo and Agustina de la Barra Alarcón, his early life was marked by hardship after his family's properties were confiscated due to his father's royalist support. Despite this destitution, he completed his studies at the Instituto Nacional, where he was a student of Manuel Montt and Buonaventura Cousiño. His career in education saw him rise from a philosophy teacher to the position of principal of the institute, where he worked to improve the quality of education in the country.
