Berrío scored his first professional goal on 8 April 2010, in a 2–0 home win against América de Cali. Three days later, he netted a brace in an away success over Cortuluá, for the same scoreline.

Sparingly used, Berrío was loaned to fellow top-tier club Millonarios on 3 January 2012.[3] On 3 August 2012, after failing to score a single goal for the club, he was loaned to Patriotas for one year.[4]

On 22 October 2017, in a Brazilian Série A match against São Paulo at Pacaembu Stadium, Berrío suffered a knee injury that later was confirmed as an anterior cruciate ligament injury.[8] In the same week, he underwent surgery, causing him to miss the rest of the 2017 season.[9]
