Well, it depends on what kind of monkey you're talking about. There are two major types of monkeys: Old World monkeys (ones that are found in Africa and Asia), and New World monkeys (ones that are found in the so-called 'new world', that is, Southern Mexico, Central America, and South America. All of the New World monkeys are arboreal - they spend the majority of their time in trees. Some types of Old World monkeys do spend time terrestrially, however, especially patas monkeys, langur monkeys, baboons, drills/mandrills and so forth.
