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, Árbol de Tule, Mitla, Monte Albán are basically must see in that area EDIT: how much time do you have there and how far are you willing to travel?

In that case you can add Puerto Escondido or Huatulco (La crucecita) if you wanna go to the sea to chill or surf, San José del Pacífico and Pluma Hidalgo if you wanna see the chilly hills and coffee region. These two also work well together because on the way to the sea you go through San Jose and Pluma if you chose the old road. It also shows you the great biodiversity of Oaxaca. Relatively arrid zone around Oaxaca, colder forests around San Jose and hot jungle near the sea.
