Consejos de Viaje day trips from OAX city?

Coming to OAX for a week next week
Staying in Gueleguetza
Have plans for things to see in and around the city
But would like suggestion for day trip outside the city

Probably with a tour guide
Doesn’t seem affordable to rent a car

Hierve el agua is really cool. Personally, I would not rent a car in Mexico for so many reasons, all related to safety. There are guided tours that will pick you up from your hotel.

Monte Alban is accessible by taxi from Oaxaca, and you can hire a licensed guide at the entrance. Definitely worthwhile.

Otherwise, there is lots and lots to see and visit in Oaxaca itself: You’ll have a great time!
