Without knowing the issuing authority, denomination, date, or Pick reference, very little can be stated with certainty. "Machu Picchu" as a series name appears across multiple Peruvian sol issues from the Banco Central de Reserva del Perú, most prominently in the 1969–1975 printed series where the site lent its name to individual notes within a broader set named for national monuments.
If this is one of those issues, the series was printed by the American Bank Note Company.
