At 17, he founded the Sociedad Espeleológica Cuba. He obtained two doctorates in La Habana, in Philosophy and Letters in 1951. Three years later, the dictator Batista had all the editions of his first book "Geografia of Cuba" removed because Jimenez described too clearly the miseries of the human landscape...
