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. On 3 August 2012, after failing to score a single goal for the club, he was loaned to Patriotas for one year.
Returning to Nacional, Berrío was regularly utilized by new manager Juan Carlos Osorio.
