El Dorado is the main utopia that comes to mind. All men have freedom there, where there are no judges. Also, they are able to take jewels, which have no value in El Dorado, with them to try to free Miss Cunegonde.

The second utopia might be said to come at the end of the novel, when Candide finally marries Miss Cunegonde and expects to live happily. Instead they all become bored with their lives.
