That's an interesting question. Eldorado was a place where even the mud was made of gold and the stones were jewels. The society is technologically advanced, and the people are peaceful. There are no religious conflicts, and they don't even have a court system because there is no crime. You would think Candide would consider himself in heaven.
However, Candide is in love with Cunegonde. He has vowed to marry her, and so he longs to be with her. Even in a place full of riches, he has nothing because he doesn't have her. So he and Cacambo decide to leave Eldorado--but not without loads of jewels!
