He scored his first goal with Deportivo Cali against Independiente Medellín in a 3–1 league win. In July 2009, he was loaned out to Independiente Medellin. In December, he was part of the squad that won the 2009 Finalizacion tournament, and the club signed him on a three-year contract a few days after winning the title. In March 2013, he left the club after almost four years.

Braga
On 16 April 2013, Pardo joined Braga for an approximated €600,000 transfer fee signing a four-year contract. He completed his first season in Portugal's top flight, the Primeira Liga, with 9 goals and 5 assists in 41 appearances, establishing himself as a dependable option on the right flank of the attack. He finished the 2014–15 season 34 appearances, scoring 10 goals and making 9 assists.

Olympiacos
Various clubs made an attempt to sign him, but Olympiacos's offer and the opportunity to play in the Champions League brought him at Karaiskaki Stadium. Marco Silva, his ex-coach and the new coach of Olympiacos is a big admirer of Pardo. On 17 July 2015, after two years of exceptional football in Portuguese Primeira Liga, he signed for Olympiacos for a fee of €4.5 million. The transfer was announced on Olympiacos' website on 18 July.

On 16 September 2015, Pardo made his debut in Champions League, playing in a 3–0 home defeat against Bayern Munich. On 29 September, he contributed to a shock 3–2 away win against Arsenal in the Champions League, scoring the opener and assisting Alfreð Finnbogason to seal the win. On 4 November, Olympiacos were on the verge of reaching the Champions League round of 16 after he came off the bench to inspire a comeback victory against Dinamo Zagreb in Piraeus, scoring twice with the second goal coming in the 90th minute. His performance earned him a place among the Champions League team of the week. Five days later, Pardo played the full 90 minutes as Arsenal beat Olympiacos 3–0 in Piraeus, progressing into the Champions League knockout stages at the expense of the Greek club. On 3 January 2016, he scored his first goal in Greek Super League, coming on as a substitute in the second half and assisting Brown Ideye for the winning goal, helping his club to a 3–1 away win against Panionios and being named "Man of the Match".

Nantes (loan)
On 11 January 2017, Pardo joined Nantes on loan for the second half of the season.

Back to Olympiacos
In the summer of 2017 Pardo returned to Olympiacos. On the last day of the summer transfer window, Argentinian club Independiente came with a new proposal for Felipe Pardo, but Olympiacos responded negatively. The Argentinian club was keenly interested in the Colombian winger, but Olympiakos responded negatively to Independiente's offer of €2.6 million with a resale rate for the "Reds" of 20%, as coach Besnik Hasi desired to maintain the player in the team roster.

On 12 September 2017, he scored twice having come on as a substitute in a 3–2 Champions League Group stage loss against Sporting Lisbon at the Karaiskakis Stadium, becoming only the fourth player in Champions League history to score a brace in the same match coming off the bench.
