look into, down at, up at

A family of compound verbs built on 보다, each with the direction built in. 들여다보다 is peering into something — 영혼을 들여다 볼 수 있는 음식, "a food you can look into the soul through". 내려다보다 is looking down from above, 올려다보다 is looking up — 하늘도 올려다 볼 수 있는 여유 — and 쳐다보다 is a fixed stare at what is in front of you. Learn them as four separate words rather than as a pattern you assemble.
