El Dorado was an imaginary place of great wealth and opportunity; sought in South America by 16th-century explorers.
El Dorado is a name given by the Spaniards in the 16th century (First expedition was in the 1540s) to an imaginary country in the interior of South America (southern or south of Venezuela purportedly, other explorers looked deeper into continent) reputed to abound in gold and precious stones.
El Dorado is also sometimes used as a metaphor to represent an ultimate prize or "Holy Grail" that one might spend one's life seeking. It could represent true love, heaven, happiness, or success. It is used sometimes as a figure of speech to represent something much sought after that may not even exist, or, at least, may never be found.
