Rincón de Luz is a fictional orphanage and the primary setting for the first four, and the last two seasons of the Argentine television series Chiquititas. The exceptions are Chiquititas Season Five, where the story takes place in a granary, and Chiquititas Sin Fin, in which the children have a different home.
Rincón de Luz (literally "Corner Of Light") is also the title of a Chiquititas spin-of series that shares a similar plot, created by Cris Morena. The title Rincón de Luz replaced the previous one of Chiquititas, since Morena could not use the previous title due to copyright issues. Soon before its premiere, she stated that Chiquititas was "more than a title". The same name is used in the Chiquititas feature film.
The manor is located at the Pasaje del Sauce, 829, in Buenos Aires.
The original Rincón de Luz orphanage was idealized by Ramiro Morán, in order to hide his new born granddaughter, whose mother, Gabriela, was too young and had the baby with a humble man. The baby grew up in the house, and became Mili, the first "orphan" to be sheltered by the place. She lived with Saverio, the adorable Chef of the Moráns, and Ernestina, its rigurous janitor. The place then became home of seven other girls, who were actually orphans, and formed among themselves a family, they all guilded by Mili.
The orphans periodically received the visit of Belén, Saverio's endearing goddaughter who was studying to become a social assistant. They were also monitored by Emilia, the first woman to direct the orphanage, until she was fired by Carmen, an ambitious woman, and Ramiro's sister. She always managed to control his whole fortune, and wanted the own the house where Rincón de Luz was located. The house was also wanted by Ginette, Ramiro's ultimate (and several years younger) fiancée, whose father was supposedly its original owner.
Through Ramiro, Ginette then replaced Emilia as the orphanage's administratrix, what prevented Belén to accept Martín's proposal to occupy the position. Martín was Ramiro's son and Belén's first romantic interest in the series, and the first one to offer her a posisiton she would later assume.
