The coast stretching south-east from Rio de Janeiro contains some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. 2 hours from Rio, near Mangaratiba, the Portobello Resort is located on the Angra dos Reis bay, surrounded by lush vegetation and rolling mountains. There is a kilometre-long sandy beach and water sports on offer - there are kayaks, wind surfs and jet skis available for hire.

As well as the beach, there are trails to natural pools and waterfalls and even a small safari park with over 500 species of animals from Brazil, Africa and Europe.
