Morphology

Cumbre + del + Laudo

This is a transparent toponymic phrase: 'Cumbre' = summit, 'del' = of the, and 'Laudo' is a proper name, so a learner who knows those constituents will readily infer 'summit/peak of Laudo' (i.e., a mountain peak). The structure follows ordinary noun-complement composition common across languages and is not idiomatic or metaphorical, so its meaning is directly derivable from the parts.

Etymology

Cumbre del Laudo literally means the cumbre ('summit') of Laudo. Picture the top called Laudo rising above the Andes, so the name tells you it is a high mountain peak.
