Dove = Where
ci = us (ci can also mean it, there or here)
vogliono = they want
portare = to bring (can also mean to wear or carry)
Where, us, they want, to bring ~ Where do they want to take us.
In English, "bring" and "take" are different applications -- bringing implies you have something you intend to bring from there->here; taking means you intend to take something from here->there. It's about the direction of the action.
I believe the Duolingo answer is incorrect, as portare means to "bring" and prendere means to "take".
