According to INVISUMEH, explosions surfaced at Santa Maria one to three times per day from November 20 to 26.
The eruptions sent "avalanches" of material descending towards the east, west and southwest flanks of the mountain.
Explosions also coughed out a billowing plume of smoke into the sky, reaching 1,698-2,952 metres above Santa Maria's 12,000-foot height and drifting towards the west and southwest.
Some of this ash fell locally, around El Faro, Santa Maria, and Viejo Palma.

With an upper-level trough moving east, heavy snow swept northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from Thursday, drastically lowering temperature and forcing closure of some highway sections.
The lowest temperature in Kuitun City in northern Xinjiang dropped significantly to minus 14 degrees Celsius. Local residents put on thicker clothes to combat the cold wave.
The snow also battered Manasi County in Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture, with the mercury dipping below 10 degrees Celsius. The local sanitation department dispatched six snow plows to clear thick snow that had already accumulated on roads.

Swathes of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire was under water for days.
Swathes of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire was under water for days.
Heavy rainfall which brought parts of the country to its knees earlier his month - and killed at least one person - was a "once-in-60-years" weather event, experts have said.
The deluge, described by residents in the worst-hit parts of Yorkshire as "almost biblical", resulted in a slew of Environment Agency flood warnings as homes were evacuated, forcing the Government to call a Cobra emergency meeting to deal with the crisis.
Researchers with the Centre for Hydrology and Ecology (CEH) said the 3.1in (77.8mm) of rainfall during a 24-hour period over November 7-8 in Doncaster, which was one of the places badly affected by flooding, was likely to happen only once every 60 years.
Experts found the River Don, which burst its banks, set a new peak flow record.
Elsewhere, flooding around the River Derwent exceeded notable weather events in the last 20 years, the CEH said.
China Peak
China Peak Resort will open for the season this Friday after receiving four feet of new snow in 38 hours.

They say anywhere from 48" of snow has fallen at the resort and believe that number will rise through the holiday weekend.
If you plan on heading up to ski make sure you pack tire chains and are prepared for changing weather conditions.

It appears to be an upside down rainbow, but it's not formed in the same way as a rainbow. It's called a circumzenithal arc and is caused by the refraction of sunlight through ice crystals in the upper atmosphere.
It's similar to a halo around the sun or moon.
To see a circumzenithal arc, the sun has to be at about 22 degrees above the horizon. This happens more often in colder months when the sun's angle is lower and we are more likely to see a mostly clear sky with cirrus clouds.

A winter storm information alert was issued Wednesday evening, warning travellers to turn back if they're headed to the Canada-U.S. border crossing at Coutts, Alta. and Sweet Grass, Mont.
The border crossing was closed at 6:30 p.m. Highway 4 remains open in Canada, but travel is not recommended, while the I-15 is closed from the border to Shelby, Mont., where multiple vehicles have slid off the highway.
"If you come to U.S. Customs, they're turning you back," said Lori Rolfe, the Village of Coutts' chief administrative officer. "We have lots of snow and lots of blowing so visibility is not great."
Rolfe said the closure was extremely unusual — the last time she recalls a similar incident was in 2000.
The jellyfish washed ashore on Tuesday (November 26) were of the Aurelia aurita jellyfish, commonly known as 'moon jelly' and root-mouth jellyfish species.
Their on-shore appearance is bad for both beachgoers and the jellyfish themselves. Jellyfish start dying the moment they hit the beach and can still sting people if handled.

The truly mesmerizing footage was uploaded to YouTube this week by marine biologist Vanessa Bézy; using a drone, she captured the turtle swarm swimming in the Ostional National Wildlife Refuge back in November 2016.
"Everybody I've shown this video has an emotional response," Bézy says. "I immediately knew there was something special going on... To this day, I'm still blown away by the video."
The city's Civil Defence said 169 mm of rain fell in 3 hours during the morning of 26 November. The monthly average for November is 106.5mm. Civil Defence Salvador added that Liberdade and São Caetano neighbourhoods recorded more than 250mm in 3 hours. Civil Defence had issued timely warnings for the heavy rain, including the sounding of sirens in some districts.
The torrential rain caused flooding and landslides across the city. Civil Defence reported more than 300 incidents. Streets were flooded and around 100 homes damaged. Almost 300 people were evacuated. However, no casualties were reported.
Parts of the city have a high risk of landslides. The government of Salvador recently embarked on a series of risk prevention projects across the city, securing slopes and installing geomats.
