The Alameda Chabuca Granda is a large promenade of the city of Lima adjacent to the Government Palace and on the banks of the Rímac River. It has three amphitheatres and stages for varieties and Música criolla.
History
[edit]The promenade is built in the site of the former Polvos Azules marketplace, itself occupying the former site of the Venetian Palace.[1] The name of the market was taken from the name of the street, which was the only block of the Jirón Santa.[2]
The new promenade was named in honour of Chabuca Granda, a renowned Peruvian singer-songwriter who created and performed a large number of Creole waltzes and Afro-Peruvian rhythms.[3]
La marinera
[edit]The avenue is crowned by a large steel sculpture without chrome and painted in red titled "La marinera", the work of artist Rhony Alhalel, which pays tribute to the marinera, the national dance of Peru.[4]
Use
[edit]It is a mandatory venue for the Art Biennials ("La Gran Semana de Lima") and gastronomy festivals that take place annually in the city. It usually offers modules with typical Lima food and desserts. Traveling comedians and popular music usually perform in its amphitheatres.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
