Spanish term or phrase: comunidades desbordantes de identidad cultural

Esta zona nos ofrece infinidades de recursos turísticos, como baños termales, sitios arqueológicos, comunidades desbordantes de identidad cultural aún intocadas por la modernidad, artesanía, flora, fauna, etc (la lista sigue).

I'm stuck :-/ Can't think of a way to translate "desbordantes de identidad cultural".
Could they mean "in their original state" or something like that? since they later say that they haven't contaminated/touched by modern life?

Thanks for your help!

communities overflowing with cultural identity

Explanation:
comunidades desbordantes de identidad cultural aún intocadas por la modernidad = communities overflowing with cultural identity still untouched by modernity

Actually, even though some creative improvments could be thought of, literal does not sound too bad here.

Sounds attractive, also, they way it should.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks for your suggestion!

Asker: I liked your suggestion, but it gave me the idea that by using "immerse" I could give the idea that the communities were like shut away and that's not what "desbordante" means. Anyway, thanks again and have a nice Easter :)
